70) The angle of inclination of the remnant magnetization measured on a basalt flow at a location P (28o N 850 E) is 40o. The palaeomagnetic latitude of the Basalt flow is________________ o N
(Thanks Anand AU)
Sol) The relation between inclination  and latitude is

\tan i=2 tan \phi

Inclination (i) =40
 
2tan \phi=\tan40^o=0.839

\tan\phi=\frac{0.839}{2}

\tan\phi=0.4195

\phi=\tan^{-1}(0.4195)

latitude \phi=22.7^o N.
